CAVI Collection: New York 56.171.23.
CAVI Lemma: BF neck amphora. Unattributed. Last quarter sixth. Ca. 510 (Bothmer).
CAVI Subject: A: Heracles and Nessus, with Deianeira. B: Centauromachy: Kaineus with a centaur on each side.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: above and to right of Heracles' head: hερακλες [[h(ε)]]{1}. B: above the left centaur: Δασ[--]. Between the heads of the centaurs: νοσ{2}. Above the right centaur: Σιμιας.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} syllabic heta. {2} very small in the ph., pl. 36,3; I think, Bothmer reads this going up and complete, but it could perhaps be read retr. and down: [--]σον, although there is very little space. Possibly combine with the first inscription: Δασ[--(?)]σον(?). A compound of δασυς (?).
CAVI Comments: The phs. show the letters too small for individual identification. The readings are Bothmer's. Simias is probably a variant of Simos, snub-nosed (Bothmer). For the name cf. C. Fränkel (1912), 9, 21, 67; Rumpf (1927), 51; Boardman (1955), 65. The vase was previously unpublished.
